Two Frogs

Two frogs fell into a bucket of cream

And must paddle to keep afloat;

But one soon tired and sank to rest

With a gurgling sigh in his throat.

The other paddled away all night,

And not a croak did he utter,

And with the coming of morning light

He rode on an island of butter.

The flies came thick to his island home

And made him a breakfast snappy.

The milkmaid shrieked and upset the pail,

And froggy hopped away happy.

We can all find a moral in this rhyme,

And should hasten at once to apply:

Success will come in the most difficult time

If we paddle and never say die!
